Full offense but your writing style is for you and nobody else. Use the words you want to use; play with language, experiment, use said, use adverbs, use “unrealistic” writing patterns, slap words you don’t even know are words on the page. Language is a sandbox and you, as the author, are at liberty to shape it however you wish. Build castles. Build a hovel. Build a mountain on a mountain or make a tiny cottage on a hill. Whatever it is you want to do. Write.
I can’t stop thinking about Mike’s “I knew nobody, I had no friends, I felt so scared and so alone” remark when he talks about meeting Will because that’s how Eleven was feeling the night she met Mike. And based on how kindly he treated her the first night, he probably knew/sensed/felt that, right from the get-go.
Eleanor Shellstrop may be the most relatable character ever. She’s a mess and low key an asshole but she’s trying to get better. (She’s also low key bi but they haven’t confirmed it yet. I hope they do.)
Every main character is unique, interesting, and fucking hilarious. (The cast is also pretty diverse.)
Chidi is also high key relatable and also the love of my life
Tahani is a gorgeous bombshell with the best wardrobe ever
Jason is a big mood
Michael is a dapper dude with all the best bow tie/suit combos and has all the best one liners
“That was a real trip for biscuits and now we’re all wet daddy-o” is my personal favorite, along with “so I know what you’re thinking; birth is a curse and existence in a prison”
Janet steals the show every time she appears on screen and is an absolute joy to watch.
I stan multiple arcs with character growth
The whole concept of the afterlife is handled in such a way that it doesn’t overly elevate or bash on any belief system
The romances are cute
The set up is amazing
The world is so creative. Shrimp literally fly through the sky as giraffes stampede everywhere and it makes sense
All the food puns in the background
THIS. SHOW. IS. SO. FUCKING. FUNNY.
The more emotional and dramatic moments work really well too
That plot twist tho!!!!
It’s so easy to binge watch. The episodes are only like twenty minutes and you can literally watch them all in a day. Season 1 is on Netflix and the third season is going to star airing in September
I literally couldn’t care less if we lose good bands and good movies if it means outing sexual predators. Let it all fall apart if that’s what it takes to stop allowing these disgusting people safe places to abuse their power. Fuck your favorite movies, fuck your favorite tv shows, fuck your favorite albums. Stop defending bad people because they make good content.
whether or not I’m attractive now is another thing, but being socialized as ‘ugly’ and ‘undesirable’ in public school early on has really taken a toll on me
